Run > Race

Brighton 10k. Was quietly hoping for 37:45 or slightly better but would have been mightily content with breaking 38 minutes any way, any how.

Started with Mike and Lucy far too far from the front. Didn't get too badly caught up after the first 500m or so and had people to cruise past for the entire race. Settled immaculately into 6:00 pace, lost a couple of seconds on the course's only incline before picking it up over the last couple of miles.

Felt like a monster. New 5k pb in my negative split (saw 18:40 at 5k - making 18:15 on the way back) and it at least seemed like I could have whipped out a few more miles without any issue.

Confidence is up for Bath now. Bring on the 80 minute half!

Excellent run from Lucy too - crushed 45 minutes and also had the unstoppable running locamotive experience.

Miles = minutes!
